I found this Insiders.com profile about the kid from Georgia whose dad played for us (I think).

Joey Sturdivant
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 185 40: 4.45
HS Position: H-Back, Safety
Recruited as: Wide receiver, Safety
National Rank: 122 (WR)
High School: Parkview HS (Lilburn, GA)


Biography: Nothing but a winner. In his junior and spohomore seasons, Sturdivant has earned back to back State Titles in BOTH football and baseball. With 1,012 total yards from scrimmage and 133 tackles, Sturdivant has the versatility to play several positions at the next level.

Listing Georgia Tech, Maryland, SMU, Michigan and Stanford. Only SMU has offered.

Sturdivant's team ahead 6 - 0 at the half in the Georgia 5A Championship game.

I can't recall his father. When was he at SMU? What position?

make sure you post a followup!

Sturdivant is visiting that 2nd weekend in January. Looks like we will have a lot of guys there that weekend who could make this recruiting class special. Hope Sturdivant wants to be part of the class that is looking more and more like it will be the group that finally helps turn this program around.

Sturdivant's Parkview won 28 - 8 and on offense Joey caught four passes for 65 yards including a 40 yard TD play on a screen. The AJC did not give defensive stats in the main article.

Parkview has won 45 games in a row, the current Georgia record, and three state championships in a row, with Sturdivant's class playing a big roll.

If Sturdivant enters SMU I suppose he will rank well up on the list of well liked recruits since the start of Football II.

Its been intersting this year, following HS football mostly on the internet. New state consectutive wins records and most wins by a coach records were set in Texas and Georgia and most wins in Oklahoma also. Most surprising perhaps, there is a new national schoolboy passing record in Ohio.

Sounds like we really should sign this guy!

Sturdivant has been named an onorable Mention All State DB by the AJC. The Atlanta papers are currently stingy with HS All Star coverage: One team named on offense and defense and then the honorable mentions. Any where else he would have been 2nd team all state.
